Paul McCartney: 1968 Interview - BBC Documentary

Uploaded by: Heavyhumanist
Video Description:
ABOUT THIS INTERVIEW, THE VIDEO and THE SONG:
This chat with Paul McCartney appears in the program 'All My Loving - A Film of Pop Music,' directed by Tony Palmer.
At the time of it's airing, this 1968 BBC documentary was both highly-acclaimed and controversial. It captured the changing attitudes of the late sixties by mixing graphic news footage of police brutality and the vietnam war with the rock music of the times. Heavily interspersed throughout are interviews with many of 1968's more influencial rock stars.
Also appearing in this made-for-TV film were Frank Zappa, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Burdon and others. Tony Palmer spoke
with Paul in an interview that was filmed on May 23rd 1968. The documentary was telecast on BBC television on
November 3rd.
As the interview segment begins, the film has drawn a comparison between the growing seriousness of rock 'n' roll and other styles of music which in the past had been taken more seriously, such as opera and the classics.

John Lennon also appears making his quip on what 'level' the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was on. Clearly, John is ready for change. Sexy Sadie indeed.
Close to forty new compositions had emerged in Rishikesh, India - a little more than half of which would be laid down
in very rough form at Kinfauns, George Harrison's home in Esher. Known widely as The Escher Demos, they are an absolute must for Beatles fans.
These songs, of course, would make their official debut on their double album titled, 'The Beatles'. Or as it became
known, 'The White Album'. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios and Trident Studios 30 May 1968 -- 14 October 1968.
Released 22 November 1968.

A month before a studio version of "Helter Skelter" was taped, a short acoustic version was filmed in between
rehearsal takes of "Blackbird". It was filmed in colour by Tony Bramwell, and was intended for use as an Apple promo.
This acoustic version was aired on Dutch television's "Vara's Puntje" on September 27, 1968.

A more complete version - including scenes of Vietnam brutality - does exist. If anyone would like to see this, please
comment, and I could post at some later date.
Note: this upload is for historical purpose and hopefully entertainment as well. I don't own the footage [but it's readily available on the internet] and am posting for enjoyment of the fans.
